Check out the recording of our latest Earthdata Webinar: Accessing Data for the World's Water with SWOT! Launched in December 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides an unprecedented look at Earth's water. A joint undertaking by NASA and CNES (Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales) with contributions from CSA (the Canadian Space Agency) and the United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT measurements for surface water extent and water body elevation for rivers, lakes, and the ocean are now publicly available for scientific research and applications.
